y'all may be reading too much into this... I bet the trotters say this when they open the first clue at the start of the leg, and find that there is a second leg in Dubai. The first was in the city (hood) and the second will be in the desert (suburb). Just doin' the same country twice.

I can really see that happening.

On Topic: Could the first Dubai leg be a NEL than this leg Keri & Lance are gone?

Not if you believe Dutch and the reports from the Netherlands that only 6 teams make it there from Dubai.

This raises an interesting question. Have there ever been two consecutive legs in a country and both legs ended with elimination points?

To answer your question, yes. The two Burkina Faso legs in TAR12 were elimination points, as were the two Chile legs in TAR11, the two Vietnam legs in TAR10, not to mention the two Vietnam legs this season, etc. etc. etc.

All of them have consecutive legs that meet your criteria. bag provided everal of these examples before I got home and could address this, but here is the comprehensive list just for those 5 races. I will check on AR1 to AR9.
